[IronWolf]

Paizo has hired another designer as noted in their news release today:

The Golem Nabs a NeoGrognard!

Paizo Publishing announced today that Stephen Radney-MacFarland is joining Paizo as a designer for the award-winning Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Radney-MacFarland currently maintains the popular NeoGrognard blog (NeoGrognard), and formerly worked at Wizards of the Coast as a game designer for the 3.5 and 4th Editions of Dungeons & Dragons, and as an administrator for RPGA organized play for D&D.

"Stephen and I worked together at the RPGA, and he was instrumental in the administration of Living Greyhawk, the largest tabletop RPG organized play program of its era," said Paizo Publisher Erik Mona. "Stephen's strong work ethic, excellent design sensibilities, and willingness to push rules in new and exciting directions will serve Paizo well as we continue to support our growing Pathfinder Roleplaying Game product lines."

Stephen Radney-MacFarland said "I’ve always admired the dedication and talent of the Paizo team. Becoming its newest member is a personal and professional triumph. I can’t wait to start!"

Do you suppose that means he's going to be taking on the Pathfinder Society duties?

Nope, SRM's going to be working primarily on the "crunch" aspects of things. Hyrum and Mark Moreland have taken over the reigns for Pathfinder Society.

I preferred to think of it as Paizo is doing better than expected with their sales and needed to bring on some more help to keep churning out excellent products.

I really hope that's the case this time around.

That software developer position sounds like fun.

For me it's really good to see some of the folks that helped to make the RPGA a success working over at Paizo, whether they are working on the Pathfinder Society or not.

You da man Hyrum. and Congrats to Stephen Radney-MacFarland. I enjoyed his WotC stuff back in 3.5 and I look forward to his work now with Paizo.

Thanks! Hopefully you’ll enjoy my Pathfinder work as well.

And I just want to echo what Hyrum put out there. Paizo's going gangbusters. It's good to see. Oh, that and it is a great place to work. If you are on the fence about applying for a position, you should keep that in mind.
